...I think he revalued everyth...

...I think he revalued everything in his house according to the measure of response it drew from her well-loved eyes.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

He snatched the book from me a...

He snatched the book from me and replaced it hastily on its shelf, muttering that if one brick was removed the whole library was liable to collapse.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

Human sympathy has its limits,...

Human sympathy has its limits, and we were contented to let all their tragic arguments fade with the city lights behind.

Feel like criticizing any one,' he told me, 'just remember

Can't repeat the past?' he cried incredulously. 'Why of course you can!' He looked around him wildly, as if the past were lurking here in the shadow of his house, just out of reach of his hand.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

She saw him the first day on b...

She saw him the first day on board, and then her heart sank into her shoes as she realized at last how much she wanted him. No matter what his past was, no matter what he had done. Which was not to say that she would ever let him know, but only that he moved her chemically more than anyone she had ever met, that all other men seemed pale beside him.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

All that kept her from breakin...

All that kept her from breaking was that it was not an image of strength that was leaving her; she would be just as strong without him.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

Better let it all alone in the depths of her heart and the depths of the sea.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

The best of America drifts to Paris. The American in Paris is the best American. It is more fun for an intelligent person to live in an intelligent country. France has the only two things toward which we drift as we grow olderЂ'intelligence and good manners.

I shall go on shining as a brilliantly meaningless figure in a meaningless world.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

It is not life that's complicated, it's the struggle to guide and control life.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

His dream must have seemed so ...

His dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

I'm inclined to reserve all judgement, a habit that has opened up many curious natures to me and made me the victim of not a few veteran bores. The abnormal mind is quick to detect and attach itself to this quality when it appears in a normal person, and so it came about that in college I was unjustly accused of being a politician, because I was privy to the secret griefs of wild, unknown men.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

I've heard it said that Daisy's murmur was only to make people lean toward her; an irrelevant criticism that made it no less charming.

Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

If you spend your life sparing...

If you spend your life sparing people's feelings and feeding their vanity, you get so you can't distinguish what should be respected in them.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

Happiness is the relief after ...

Happiness is the relief after extreme tension

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

Courage to me means ploughing ...

Courage to me means ploughing through that dull gray mist that comes down on life-not only overriding people and circumstances but overriding the bleakness of living. A sort of insistence on the value of life and the worth of transient things...My courage is faith-faith in the eternal resilience of me-that joy'll come back, and hope and spontaneity. And I feel that till it does, I've got to keep my lips shut and my chin high, and my eyes wide

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

You have to develop a conscience and if on top of that you have talent so much the better. But if you have talent without conscience, you are just one of many thousand journalists.

There's so much spring in the air- there's so much lazy sweetness in your heart.
